Oh, it;s so nice to hear that you all know my owl lol..I thought he was beautiful when I first saw the kit. I haven't seen a good one since lol. I bought the horse around the same time. I also found a beautiful Japanese kit called. Tea House in my rummaging. I noticed that my stitches got a lot neater but I have only done one water lily on that kit. I will be working on it soon....
